I cant get the same colour paint for my radiators as is on my wall........?

Question

as it has to be eggshell or heatproof. Can anyone suggest where I can get paint mixed to match up?

Answer 1

take a copy of the colur to trade paints and they can mix the colour up that will be exact to what you want.

Answer 2

You can use the same paint for both. I regularly paint my radiators with the same emulsion I use on the walls. As long as its a good make it won't yellow or peel.

Answer 3

All you need to do, is chip off a paint sample of the radiator and take it in to your local hardware store, they can color match it for you

Answer 4

You just need a gloss and why should it match at all?! A contrasting colour or neutral could look really effective! However I know that B&Q here in the UK does colouring mixing.

Answer 5

Use emulsion paint -same as your walls - this works well, just make sure that the radiator is cold before you paint it!

Answer 6

Go to Lowe's home improvement and should be able to help and answer all your questions. Take a sample of the paint color and they can color match exactly.

Answer 7

Look for satin paints etc, they say can be used on wood and metal, I've used that on my radiators and never had a problem.

Answer 8

Get one of those fancy radiator covers then you can paint that instead

Answer 9

paint it white.. you get nice white paint to give it a soft look and heat proff as well.. will last long as well as white radiator can go with any shade on your wall
